The Legend of Dragoon

"Be careful, Michael!" Kai shouted as she ran.

 

Michael rubbed his head.

"Little late to be saying that now, isn't it?"

He rushed to catch up with the rest.

 

Kai laughed as she ran, but than a weird sensation came over her. She fell to her knees, and starting to gasp for air.

 

Michael rushed to Kai's side.

"What's happening to you?!"

 

"I don't know. It's just feels someone or something is trying to do to me...." Kai fell unconcisous on the ground.

 

"No......come on, hang in there.......don't die on me, please......."

 

Kai turned to Michael, and grabbed onto his shoulder. "I'll...be alright.... I promise...." Then she fell onto the ground.

 

Michael saw a light eminating from his pack.

"The orb of orcrist....."

He pulled the orb out, and saw the cause of the trouble. A wandering Keldon spirit, probably from the fortress, was trying to kill Kai.

Michael called his sword.

"Leave her be, or I'll send you back to hell, spirit!"

 

Kai felt like she was falling into a darkness so deep, she couldn't never waken. "Michael...." she whispered.

 

"Her life is mine, Halfling, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Michael poured his power into the sword and stabbed the spirit, banishing it.

He turned to Kai.

"Come on, get up......please......" Tears began to pour from his eyes and fall on Kai.

 

Kai slowly began to open her eyes. "Michael...." she whispered. She put a hand on his cheek, touching it softly.

 

Michael breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can't keep worrying me like this...."

 

Kai hugged Michael, tears running down her faces. "I'm just realized that.... you're my guardian angel, and I love you for protecting me."

 

"Guess that means I'm carrying you the rest of the way then." Michael said with a smile.

 

"I can walk on my own. Thanks." Kai slowly got up. "So, guardian angel, where next?"

 

Michael pulled his hood onto his head.

"Looks like we are about to reach Snowborne. Best bundle up, cause it's going to get cold."

 

Sophia tilted her head, and looked at Michael and Kai.
what is wrong?

....

Sophia?

 

"Sophia?" he asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Is there something wrong?"

 

Sophia was silent for a bit then she found her voice, "no, nothing." She answered with a smile.

 

"What were you thinking about?"
